MED believes in establishing trusting relationships based on respect for personal identity and information by promoting the use of fair information practices. This privacy statement covers all websites operated by MED. This Privacy Statement demonstrates our commitment to our users' privacy and discloses our information practices.

If users have questions or concerns regarding this statement, they should contact us by phone at 256-539-9950.
Information Collection
MED is the sole owner of the information collected on its web sites. MED gathers information from our users at several different points on our web sites.

Order
We request information from the user on our order form. A user must provide contact information (such as name, email, and shipping address) and financial information (such as credit card number, expiration date). This information is used for billing purposes and to fill customer's orders. If we have trouble processing an order, the information is used to contact the person who placed the order.

Information Use
Profile
We store information that we collect through forms and log files to create a profile of our users. A profile is stored information that we keep on individual users detailing their viewing preferences and shopping history on our site. Consequently, collected information is tied to the user's personally identifiable information to provide offers and improve the content of the site for the user. This profile is used to tailor a user's visit to our web sites and to direct pertinent marketing promotions to them. We do not share your profile with other third parties.

Third Party Advertising
WE DO NOT HAVE THIRD PARTIES ADVERTISING ON OUR WEBSITE.

Communications from the Site
Special Offers and Updates
Established members will occasionally receive information on products, services, and special deals.

Customer Service
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the users wishes.

Aggregate Information (non-personally identifiable)
We do not share aggregated demographic information with any third party.

Third Party Advertisers
MED does not share web sites usage information about users with any third party.
These are the instances in which we will share users' personal information: We DO NOT share personal information with third parties.

Business Transitions
In the event MED goes through a business transition - such as a merger, being acquired by another company or selling a portion of its assets - users' personal information will, in most instances, be part of the assets transferred. Users will be notified via email prior to a change of ownership or control of their personal information. If as a result of the business transition, the users' personally identifiable information will be used in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection they will be given choice consistent with our notification of changes section.

Security
Our web sites take every precaution to protect our users' information. When users submit sensitive information via the web sites, their information is protected both online and off-line.

When our registration/order form asks users to enter sensitive information (such as credit card number), that information is encrypted and is protected with the best encryption software in the industry - SSL. While on a secure page, such as our order form, the lock icon on the bottom of Web browsers such as Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer becomes locked, as opposed to un-locked, or open, when users are just 'surfing'.

While we use SSL encryption to protect sensitive information online, we also do everything in our power to protect user-information off-line. All of our users' information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted in our offices and on the web servers of our hosting company. Only employees who need the information to perform a specific job (for example, our billing clerk or a customer service representative) are granted access to personally identifiable information. Because our accounting system is secured on the servers, only authorized personnel have access to it protected by username and password. Furthermore, ALL employees are kept up-to-date on our security and privacy practices. Finally, the servers that store personally identifiable information are located in a secure environment, in a monitored facility.

Notification of Changes
If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will post those changes to this privacy statement, the homepage, and other places we deem appropriate so our users are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it, and under what circumstances, if any, we disclose it. We will use information in accordance with the privacy policy under which the information was collected.

If, however, we are going to use users' personally identifiable information in a manner different from that stated at the time of collection we will notify users via email. Users will have a choice as to whether or not we use their information in this different manner. However, if users have opted out of all communication with the site, or deleted/deactivated their account, then they will not be contacted, nor will their personal information be used in this new manner. In addition, if we make any material changes in our privacy practices that do not affect user information already stored in our database, we will post a prominent notice on our web sites notifying users of the change. In some cases where we post a notice we will also email users, who have opted not to receive communications from us, notifying them of the changes in our privacy practices.
